Your quite presumptuous to call me Christian. I am not, certainly not in the sense that you infer.

IMHO, atheists should be standing up and supporting Judge Moore because he represents (a) standing up against judicial tyranny, (b) free exercise and free speech rights, (c) rights of citizens in a *Federal* Republic, (d) defense of traditional cultural heritage, whose loss will hurt us all. But most importantly, this case has be very much wrongly decided and we all should support those unjustly ruled against, and advocate the proper overturning of this bad ruling.

"Your faith is irrelevant to your status as a fully vested American. " I never said otherwise; you are shadowboxing strawmen.

But isnt it wonderful that a country built, founded, and run by mostly Christians for over 200 years is open to people of these other religions. We do not see much such freedom in the heritage of China, nor Islam, nor Buddhism (viz Japan), nor Hinduism, until western and Christian influence came to them. They can come to *our* shores and enjoy the freedoms derived from *our* heritage, a heritage based on Christianity amongst other influences. I do not think at all that a thinking American of *any* persuasion would be so narrow-minded as to be offended by a small public monument that reflected that heritage, any more than the "Zeus-like" Lincoln memorial.

And arent you a thinking American? Are you really "put out" by this display? The one that has this:
Shaped like a cube, this four-foot-tall monument displays the Ten
Commandments on the top. Each of the four sides of the cube features
famous American words: "Laws of nature and of nature's God" from the
Declaration of Independence (1776), "In God we Trust" from our national
motto (1956), "One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all" from our Pledge of Allegiance (1954), and "So help me
God" from the oath of office in the Judiciary Act (1789).
